20 thoughts on “After the tour”

Looks like you had a good turnout and the garden was looking lusciously green!

I remember you commenting that you hoped to have the Fall GC Open Day pushed back to later in the season as you thought the garden had better color and interest then than in late October when it was open last year. Did you succeed?

And, by the way, I did start a blog…. Link is above if you’re curious.

Hi, Sarah – yes, a good, friendly turnout. And a warm day with little humidity. I only pushed to Oct. 18 for this fall, but I think that will be okay. The autumn garden depends so much on the weather. I like your blog.

On your next trip to the east coast. You may be surprised. I intend to work out a some new planting areas to support insects and wildlife continuously throughout the season. The details in the Darke/Tallamy book have helped me realize I need to go about this more systematically. (But it has to be aesthetically pleasing. I don’t think those goals are mutually exclusive.)

I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive, either, James — especially not in a garden. I hope no one ever thinks that about me. Of course, aesthetically pleasing to you may be different than aesthetically pleasing to Suzy Johnson or Joe the Plummer.

I lined the bottom of the pond to prevent growth, but growth from the sides is obscuring over half its width. I need to put on waders and cut, cut, cut but I can’t face it. I love my wild daylilies even though daylily connaisseurs call them “ditch lilies.”

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment
(it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but
I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints
for first-time blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
